It is interesting that most people have not selected current players in their teams. Is the reason simply that we haven't seen their full career pan out yet, or that players used to be better, or is it though nostalgic glasses where everything seemed better?

Most of the players in my current team haven't played long enough with the club to prove how good they are. Also this team has not really won anything , whereas the majority of the players listed won many competitions thus proving that they were the best at that time.

Several of our current team could possibly make it. Ben Galea has a chance, so do Mick Vella and Joel Clinton. Alongside Jake Webster as we have been weak in the centres with the exception of Prohmy who was a total legend.

otherwise you would have included: mick shoebottom, john holmes, david ward, barry seaborne, bob haigh etc etc etc............incidentally mick shoebottom was for me by far the best leeds player i have seen.

I'm struggling, mainly cos in the near 40 years I've been watching Wires, I've seen many great players in all positions, even though the trophy cabinet doesn't really back up that statement. For example. Scrum half. Parry Gordon, Andy Gregory, even Alfie Langer, 3 great players, that's if I put Briers stand off, ahead of Woods, Blake, Kelly, Bishop (oh, he seems to have left again...) Murphy or Shelford. Full back: Whitehead, Hesford (a real rock at the back, and 2 points every kick), the attacking flair of Johnson. Give me another day to mull it over......
